The school motto is solemnly and prominently engraved on the giant stone at the entrance of the middle school section of Zhehao Middle School; The various shapes of stones in the garden, some with poems and some with landscapes, add artistic charm to the campus. In front of the teaching building of Wenhui Village Elementary School, there are four stones in the center of the green lawn. This is a cultural stone presented and erected by four village committees (Shuangshuijing Village, Wenhui Village, Xinhui Village, and Xinlong Village) after the government centralized education, to commemorate the spirit of the old school and celebrate the departure of the new school. The stones are engraved with the words "Virtue and Art Double Prosperity", "Integration and Integration", "Reform and Innovation", and "Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate". Peng Meiqiong, who teaches at Wenhui Village Elementary School and was awarded the title of "National Model Teacher" in 2024, said, "The four cultural stones gifted by each village committee are not just stones, they carry the expectations of the villagers, support the education of the new school, and symbolize the close connection between family and school. With this friendship, I have more confidence and direction!" In recent years, Zhehao Middle School has continuously innovated the ideological and political education model, cleverly using the unique stone culture to tell good ideological and political stories. Using engraved stones to convey the school motto, organizing themed class meetings to promote communication, and expressing love for the national conditions through stone painting. In the "Patriotic Theme" stone painting creation activity, children's expressions are focused and their brushes dance lightly. Teachers guide students to use their brushes to express their love for the motherland and admiration for heroes. Most of the landscape stones on campus are made from local materials, which have rich connotations such as perseverance, steadfastness, tolerance, dedication, and natural simplicity. The school wants to use these qualities to guide children to work down-to-earth.
